> [@pulykamell](#): > > Stuff like that is exactly why I’m all about grabbing the popcorn and enjoying the show. I don’t need to make direct commentary or argue with anyone–the patent absurdity of it all is entertainment enough for me. It does disappoint me that the nation has sunk to this, that the presidency has turned into a fucking entertainment venue for people like me because of Trump’s itchy Twitter fingers. But, hey, if the ship’s sinking, I’m gonna sit on the deck and enjoy my last margaritas, at least. And I comfort myself that Cruz would have been even worse. Plus, I’m an optimist, and I figure things will sort themselves out eventually. I think Trump may actually be the best thing to happen to the Democratic party. The above sums up a large part of my own feelings. > [@enipla](#): > > What the fuck does this even mean?

I’ve read speculation that it could be Traitor Trump warning Comey against releasing any tapes that he, Comey, may have made. An interesting take, although I don’t think it likely. > [@Beren\_Erchamion](#): > > They’re the scum of the earth. > > No decent person will ever vote for a Republican again. Just to align oneself with that organization is to show a serious lack of integrity and good judgment. No decent person did vote for Trump. It is my sincere belief that every single man and woman who voted for Chump ought to be imprisoned for treason, if not frog-marched outside and shot at dawn. It won’t happen of course, but in a perfect world … When I started this thread, I knew it would be the gift that keeps on giving but had no idea exactly how spoiled for choice we would be. ---

Comey has declared that while he refuses to speak to any committee - including the senate intel committee - privately, behind closed doors, he is ready and willing to speak **in public, live - with NO filters or spin**. He probably knows that spineless traitor Republicans will spin his private testimony to cover for Donald Trump again. I hope he is fucking FURIOUS. I think Comey is a self righteous sanctimonious self absorbed asshole and it’s his fault that Donald Dump is our so called prezidumb, but if he can take the fat orange bastard down, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. ---

> [@SteveG1](#): > > Well ya know, Mr Tiny Fingers has trouble with “Teh Digitalz” 😃 His tape recorder is steam powered. Actually, come to think of it, I think it is likely that Putin has recordings of Trump and Comey’s conversation. We should ask him. ---

> [@Grrr](#): > > There is so much irony in this asinine statement. I do hope you’re wooshing us. What’s the irony? I’ve been saying it for years; the Republican party is a terrorist organization that poses a greater existential threat to the United States, its people, and the human race at large than any other that has ever existed, and no person who willingly associates with it is worth anything less than complete and utter contempt. Their leaders should be wasting away in cells in Gitmo, every branch of our national corpus ought to be cleansed of their filth, and future generations ought learn from their earliest school days that there once existed a group of people so self-obsessed and evil that they were willing to kill off the entire human race in the name of short-term profit. ---

I despise the Annoying Orange as much as anybody- I had basically a nervous breakdown in November- but absolutists like you will ensure the country never heals. You’re calling my mother a traitor? You’re calling my father a traitor? You’re calling my best friend a traitor, the girl I practically grew up with, the one who made me an honorary member of her family? How dare you? How dare you. ---

Some people voted against Hillary. I can accept that, even if I disagree. But, while “traitor” might be the perfect word for the “MAGA” hat wearing crowd who voted with their middle fingers, it’s not too far off. ---

Yeah, I’m thinking this conversation took a left turn into the Twilight Zone somewhere in the last few hours. Trump has never tweeted about Brussels sprouts that I can remember. ---

True, but what about the strawberries…? Concur, I think Siam Sam and Smapti need to plead guilty to TDS (Trump Derangement Syndrome) or to consuming more than their fair share of adult beverages last night. Besides, I don’t want my brother shot; maybe keelhauled now and then, but not shot… IMHO as always. YMMV. ---
